Fig. 6. Impact of Rnf20 inactivation on H3K4me3 and H3K36me3.

Fig. 6

Wild-type or Rnf20fx/fx newborn pups were injected with a high dose of AAV9-TnT-Cre. P7 heart apexes were used for H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 ChIP-seq. a, b H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 marked active TSSs and gene bodies in control and knockout hearts. The overall distribution pattern of these marks was not altered by Rnf20 inactivation. c, d H3K4me3 signal at each TSS and H3K36me3 signal at each gene was quantified in wild-type and Rnf20 KO groups (upper panel). GSEA revealed that the set of genes that were downregulated in RNF Cas-KO were strongly enriched for genes with reduced H3K4me3 or H3K36me3 signal in Rnf20 KO (lower panel; P < 0.001; NES = normalized enrichment score calculated by GSEA that corrects for gene set size). e, f IGV genome browser views at Myh6 and Tnni3 (red boxes), which are involved in maturational sarcomere isoform switching. These genes were downregulated in RNF Cas-KO and had reduced H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 occupancy in Rnf20 KO. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
